Valley Emperor

The development and success of South Africa is almost impossible to replicate.

First of all, the terrain and climate of this place are quite friendly to the Tang people. This place has a Mediterranean climate, which is suitable for living and living, and it is also a plain terrain of a flat river.

Fighting in the plains with this climate, the Datang Army stated that there is no pressure and can be pushed directly.

At the same time, the mountains in the north are also known as natural city walls. As long as the two small plains are cleared, regular patrols are carried out on the northern border, and military fortresses are established in some areas to ensure the safety of the South African plains. There is no need to worry about the northern Indigenous people came in.

Because of these, the military quickly wiped out the indigenous peoples in the entire South African plain area with the momentum of thunder. When the empire established the African Affairs Yamen and also set up South Africa, there were actually no indigenous people in this plain. .

But in addition to South Africa, the empire's other overseas territories in Africa are very shabby. For example, the famous West Indies, although it has a big name, is actually still small in scale. It only controls a small number of surrounding coastal plains, and there are thousands of immigrants. It's just people, not as good as one-tenth of South Africa.

As for other strongholds, there are usually only a few thousand people, or even a few hundred people.

Most of these places have flaws of one kind or another, either because the terrain is too complex, or the climate is too extreme, or there are too many natives nearby, and so on.

In short, two words: trouble!

This is also the reason why the Empire unilaterally attaches importance to South Africa, while ignoring the immigrant strongholds in other places.

The same is the result of the underpopulation of Africa as a whole.

Today, when the Tang Empire's control areas in Africa are added up, including Ceuta in North Africa, there are only about 350,000 people, and this is still counting the number of garrisoned troops.

The number of people in Africa also makes Tan Youling feel the difficulty of localization.

After all, there are not many people, so what about localization?

In contrast, even though the environment in the Nanyang region is a bit harsher, it is still close to the mainland, and there are many immigrants.

Although the Americas are far away, their natural environment is quite good and has always been very popular with immigrants.

Even in India, although there are now hundreds of states and warlords in various sizes, the local natural environment is not bad, and the immigrants of the empire will not face too harsh natural challenges in the past.

In addition, the war between Indian states has also brought a lot of opportunities for immigrants to make money, and they can make money by doing anything, especially for those who like adventure, India is now an amusement park, just toss Toss and toss, it is possible to get back a lot of gold or something.

Therefore, many people will still go to India, and if more people go, there will always be many people left.

Africa is the only place where the natural environment is harsh, the natives are ugly, and they are all uncivilized savages, and they are far away from the mainland of the empire, so not many people are willing to come.

The combination of many conditions has led to the difficulty of localization work in Africa.

However, affected by the accelerated progress of localization in Nanyang, Tan Youling, the superintendent of African affairs, could not sit still and thought of many ways to speed up localization.

On the one hand, it is to increase the efforts to attract immigrants from the country, and on the other hand, it is to start to expand the land of some resettlement points to expand the capacity. In addition, it is more important to do a good job in disease prevention.

The most important thing for localization work in overseas territories is the need to attract domestic immigrants. Only with immigrants can we talk about localization. Without immigrants, no matter what we do, it is useless.

In addition to doing his own work, he also found the African labor service company. He was quite dissatisfied with the work efficiency of the African labor service company in the recent period of time.

It's just that the African Labor Service Company is an enterprise, and the management agency is also the Indigenous Labor Department under the Immigration and Reclamation Department. He, the African affairs supervisor, really does not have much authority to manage directly.

However, this doesn't mean that he can't exert influence over them and make them a little more swift, don't be slow, the indigenous laborers under the Nanyang Labor Service Company have already exceeded one million, which is not only effective Accelerates the localization process, and also provides a great help for the local infrastructure construction.

After all, the cost of using these indigenous laborers is very low, no wages, just stuttering, and the indigenous people will not ask for any vacations, pensions and the like.

Today, Nanyang Labor Service Company has received a large number of infrastructure construction orders from government and yamen at all levels in Nanyang.

However, the work efficiency of African labor service companies is much lower, and only hundreds of thousands of laborers have been hired, which is far from enough.

While this put pressure on the African labor service company, Tan Youling also gritted his teeth and squeezed out a lot of money from the local finances in Africa for infrastructure construction, the development of new immigration points, and many other projects.

At the same time, he still found Spaniards, Portuguese, and Englishmen. He said that there are so many indigenous people in Africa. You are not short of labor. If you lack labor, you can use the indigenous people in Africa.

For example, recently we are planning to develop parts of the northern part of South Africa, especially near West India, where there are so many indigenous people, do you want it? If you want, please go and hire someone, and then bring it to America and other places to build your plantation. work.

After these European labor companies clean up the indigenous people, then these places can welcome new immigrants from Datang.

This is a good thing.

When Tan Youling on the African side was worried that there were too many indigenous people, the Spanish and Portuguese, no, they should be said to be one country, because these two countries now have only one king, and to some extent they have merged .

Now the Spaniards are short of manpower. Their development in America is very short of people, but their native population is not large. At the same time, because of the threat of the Tatars, they need to maintain a large-scale army in Europe and the Tatars. Tars fight.

This can free up a very small number of people to immigrate to Europe.

At the same time, in the Americas, there were actually quite a lot of people originally, but when the Europeans came to America, especially South and Central America, Mexico and other areas under their control, the original number of indigenous people has been greatly reduced.

Factors such as foreign diseases, the struggles of the natives inside, and the persecution of European colonists have long led to a significant reduction in the number of natives in the Americas now controlled by Spain.

Also, there are still more indigenous people in the control area of ​​Datang.

So when Datang proposed to move the natives of North America to Mexico and other regions, the Spaniards were very welcome.

Now, Datang has asked them to migrate the natives of Africa to America, and they are also very welcome.

After all, there was no slavery in the Tang Dynasty, but they did.

Datang wants land and no people, and has always insisted on refusing to allow indigenous people to enter its control area. Even if it opened an opening to set up a labor service company before, it is still very restrictive. It can only be centralized management and engaged in infrastructure construction. .

But many European colonists in this era are not limited to using the natives for infrastructure construction, they also let the natives farm, dig and so on for them.

Especially in various European-controlled farms, plantations, and mines, many indigenous people can be seen working.

However, the Datang Empire did not do this. So far, in addition to the four major labor service companies, Datang still does not allow other Datang individuals or organizations to hire non-Datang subjects or temporary residents, no matter what form they employ.

Even Datang did not allow the natives to enter the Datang-controlled area at all, so there was no employment at all.

Once you are caught hiring natives, it is a felony, and you will be fined and bankrupt in minutes.

Of course, everyone is not stupid. The government does not allow the employment of indigenous people, but that is only limited to the area controlled by Datang, and the area controlled by Datang is actually not large in the world. For example, in India, except for Ceylon Outside the island, the land directly controlled by Datang is only about 100,000 square kilometers, and the rest is still the indigenous control area.

And the Tang people are in the indigenous control area, but no one can control what they want to do.

Many Tang people will go to the indigenous control area to open up plantations, mines, etc., and the labor they use is free labor.

However, the Datang government does not actually welcome such measures, and will impose certain restrictions on companies or individuals who do so. After all, Datang's laws have never said that it is only fixed in the Datang-controlled area. In theory, it is global, no, It should be said that all known and unknown spaces are within the legal coverage of Datang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because Datang's territory theoretically includes all known and unknown spaces.

Therefore, it is also against the laws of the Tang Dynasty for businessmen to hire indigenous people outside the actual control area of ​​Datang.

Of course, outside the existing control area, there are no Datang law enforcement officers in other places, so turn a blind eye to the illegal behavior of the Datang people.

Therefore, this kind of situation belongs to whether it can't be managed, but Datang is too lazy to manage it.

The difference here is huge!

If it goes too far and has a bad influence, the Tang government will directly arrest people and raid their homes if they are serious.

But no matter what, being too lazy to care basically means default.

As long as you are smarter yourself, don't make a fuss, the imperial officials generally don't see it or hear it!

Therefore, although many businessmen hire natives in native-controlled areas, they are generally not blatant. Most of them use indirect methods, that is, to directly cooperate with natives, entrust various jobs, or simply directly Purchase raw materials such as minerals and agricultural products from indigenous people.

Let the indigenous people organize their own production.

This is considered a side shot, bypassing the law that the Tang people cannot directly hire indigenous people.

Datang has strict restrictions on the employment of natives by its own people, but it doesn't matter if the natives do it themselves.

On the European plantations on the American side, a large number of Native Americans and Africans work in chains.

In this context, the migration of the indigenous people in North America has become extremely smooth, the migration of the indigenous people is smooth, and the subsequent development of the migration will also be smoother.
